The Essential Pam Berry Compilation
The (Unofficial) Essential Pam Berry Compilation
I've been meaning to make this for a while now, and I finally remembered to get it together this past weekend and yesterday. To many, Pam Berry is a legend. To some, Pam Berry is just the name of of a Shins song (In her honor, of course), and to others, the name means nothing at all. Sad, too, considering that if there had been a royal court of American indiepop in 90s, Ms. Berry would surely have been the queen.
Overtime she has lent her dreamy vocal prowess the following bands: Glo-Worm, Black Tambourine, The Castaway Stones, The Shapiros, Belmondo, The Seashell Sea, Veronica Lake, The Pines, and Bright Coloured Lights; as well as also being a co-founder of the legendary Chickfactor zine, and doing many other cool things, like living in DC. I have some favorites, for sure, but to be quite honest, just about everything she's ever done is completely excellent by me. If you've heard some Pam Berry before, then hopefully there's some stuff on here that's new to you. If you've never heard Pam Berry before, then hopefully you find something to love on here. I love it all, and I hope that you do, too! P.S. Like always, it's tagged with artwork and as a compilation for ease of use :D

I like you!
Thanks so much for this. I only ever had The Shapiros album so this is a great sampler. Back when I was more in to indiepop during the mid 90's I couldn't afford a lot of the music so I never got around to hearing some of Pam's music. Thanks again.
Washington City Paper's music blog gave you props for this. Check it:
